I started Dialysis in Dec 2016, and I have been pretty miserable since then. I am tired ,exhausted and completely wiped out for two days. By the third day when I am recovered physically it is time for the next session. It is not working for me. Also it has put my sleeping cycle out of balance. BY the third day i have sleepless nights.

I have been on for 4 1/2 years. The first 2 years I drove my self both ways. I got weaker so my husband drives me now. What is happening now is my legs are so weak I need a wheel chair to get to and from the car. Today using the walker my legs just gave out and I don't want to be wheelchair bound even at home. Often the blood pressure drops and they have to take me off the machine, but most days they get enough kilo s off.

Unable to remove more than 1.2 kilo because my BP drops to unsafe levels, however, due too a nationwide policy change ( no one has read any correspondence regarding the change), I am force to go home with .5 kilogram of saline because davita no longer allows dumping the primer. Many techs prime the machine with .5 kilo. In some situations, I gain fluid weight at treatment. Any advice or do any one no a corporate executive who will listen to my appeal since the center has been dumping the primer for 6 years.
